3 жыл бұрын

Designed to convert a vehicle’s factory-equipped air or electronic suspension to a conventional suspension, a Monroe Suspension Conversion Kit restores factory ride height and delivers a stable, comfortable ride. Follow along as a Monroe suspension conversion kit is installed on a 2013-2018 RAM 1500 truck. For a complete four-corner repair, be sure to purchase these three Monroe part numbers: 90028C1 (front right strut assembly), 90028C2 (front left assembly) and 90028C3 (rear coil springs, shock absorbers, spring isolators, jounce bumpers).From removing and installing the front assembly to disabling the air suspension service message (do not remove the F87 fuse), each step is covered. Count on Monroe to help you get your conversion kit installation done right.

Didn’t buy Monroe’s conversion kit but for anyone looking to tackle this job I would 1000% recommend this video, made the job so much easier! Took about 4 1/2 -5 hours start to finish! Very well done Monroe! Thank you!

It is a great video. My luck, it would take me 4 1/2 - 5 weeks and then I would have to call a wrecker to come pick it up to have it done by a professional.😁

It's actually pretty straightforward, need a good jack, stands, impact and some wretches. Took me about 6 hours in the driveway. I have moderate mechanical experience

Doing the Kit exactly as video.Less the lift.Front -L was 1st had to use long metal concrete pole to dislodge the upper ball joint as pickle forks did not work.Was a real tough nut.was also very heavy to lift new strut up and have holes align.Used a 2x2 19" to hold down so it would fit in .Not as easy as video.But very doable for the reg guy.On to pass side today with my tips i learned.

@@stopdalies only the 21mm bent wrench. If you have an assortment of impact tools, they do make it alot easier I did put a 3" leveling kit on while I was at it. Because I didn't take off the axle nut from the CV axle I had to pry very hard to get the strut over the bottom control arm. I pulled the CV axle apart on the inside and I couldn't get it to go back in and ended up buying a new one. Also if you bought the module that turns off the Service Air Suspension message, its is easy to install and follow the instructions. BUT DO NOT take out the fuses like it shows at the end of the video, because I did and the message kept showing up. Then when I put the fuses back in, it went away.

@embeesl4y3r 2 жыл бұрын

@@laughingatourlife I am about to do this conversion on my truck and my best guess is that you (if you have a WiTech 2.0 subscription) will need to call the dealer and give them the VIN and tell them to remove the sales code for the ASCM (SER seems to be the code according to TSB 08-051-16). Assuming they do it when they say they will, it should be available in the cloud to download to the truck within ~30 minutes. At least this is how it works with adding the WCM/WIreless Control Modules to FCA vehicles, or the LPL/Pickup Box Lighting for the Rams. I assume that deleting should be similar to this.

@embeesl4y3r 2 жыл бұрын

I just looked in Tech Authority for my VIN and it says SERS is the Air Suspension, 4-Corner. Either way, I will call the dealer and let them know to remove SER/SERS and hopefully it works. Will update if it does. Still planning to pull fuses as well.

Yes, But if you want a lift kit, this would be the time to do so. Front is usually a preload spacer on the front struts ( or lift spacer bolted on top) & spacers on rear coil springs, un less you are going a 6" kit which is a different setup with way more pieces.
